A bit of history

FIG was founded in 2008 by a group of like-minded people who were concerned about the lack of access to healthy, safe and sustainable food for the community.

FIG commenced operations in February, 2009 as a non-profit organisation aiming to be a vital hub where members of the local community could connect with locally sourced organic fruit and vegetables including extras, when available, such as eggs, bread, dry goods and member’s surplus home-grown produce.

The co-op became incorporated in March, 2012 and is now known officially as the Food Integrity Group Co-operative Limited, or FIG Co-op Ltd.
